This is a high-impact opportunity to shape how strategically aligned Quilter Partner Hub firms transition through acquisition and into the Employed business. The role will play a central part in ensuring integrations are well planned, professionally executed and aligned to our long-term operating model, while maintaining strong relationships with firms throughout the process.
The Senior Advice Integration Manager will be instrumental in building a successful Employed National business, working across internal and external stakeholders to navigate commercial, legal, operational and compliance considerations. This role requires strong judgement, disciplined delivery and the ability to track progress against agreed business and integration outcomes, ensuring each transaction is translated into sustainable value for the wider business.
The Advice Integration Manager is responsible for providing our Quilter Partner Hub firms with expert advice and guidance throughout the acquisition of their business and integration into Quilter Financial Advice (QFA). This includes supporting integration planning from an early stage of the acquisition journey.
You will develop, own, and execute the end-to-end integration strategy for newly acquired Quilter Hub firms, including integration roadmaps, workstreams, milestones, and KPIs to ensure a disciplined and coordinated approach. This will include development and delivery of comprehensive change-management plans that minimise disruption and accelerate adviser adoption of new systems, processes, and ways of working. You will support tracking against agreed business and integration outcomes.
You will lead and coordinate cross-functional teams (e.g., Finance, HR, IT, Legal, Operations, Communications) to deliver a seamless integration experience ensuring compliance, operational stability and continuity of service throughout integration.
You will build strong relationships with acquired Quilter Partner Hub leadership teams to foster trust and collaboration throughout the integration journey. You will act as a diplomatic and credible representative of Quilter Financial Planning (QFP) during sensitive post-acquisition periods.
You will work closely with the Employed National Director to ensure a cohesive and seamless transition for Hub firms through the acquisition and integration process, in line with contractual timelines specific to each firm.
